Option to pin all day events to the day of the event, regardless of timezone in Outlook 2016
Currently all day events are treated as regular events with a 24 hour duration, starting at midnight in the organizer's timezone. This makes them not be displayed as all-day events in the calendars of participants from different timezones. Please add an option that makes Outlook "pin" all day events to the day of the event, instead of treating them as 24-hour events and spilling over into next/previous days for participants in other timezones.

Is this fixed yet? I get a lot of confusion from co-workers when sending an "all-day" event. It does not need to spill into the next day, just stay on that ONE day. It is a great feature as not to clutter our calendars, but is poorly executed.

This is so ridiculous that this is still an issue. Every other calendar application (i.e. Google Calendar) can do this, and has been able to for YEARS. Please fix!

PLEASE fix this issue. In my situation, even though the scheduler and invitee are in the same time zone, the calendar invite must go thru a server in another time zone... which causes it to shift from "all day" to 7PM the day before to 7 PM the scheduled day. That is NOT correct, and should fail all acceptance test cases.

We've developed a plug-in that appears on any appointment or event. I'd like to replace the plug-in with an add-in that the user can pin to always open on their appointments or events.
It would be great if we could also pin the add-in for any calendar view.

Seriously, Microsoft... Sync'ing my calendar while being in another time zone just completely messed up nearly all the all-day events in my calendar. Had to spend 2h+ fixing this mess. This is ridiculously poor design!

When an all-day appointment from another time zone is received, it will show that appointment in your calendar in the organizer’s time zone.

All day events should be considered "all day" across time zones. With the auto adjustment it makes it hard to manage OOO for companies that use a shared calendar across different regions. It seems silly that this hasn't been implemented yet.

There is no reason for an "all day" event to adjust to different timezones. "All Day" events pin to the top of the calendar, rarely would an "All Day" event be used to block calendar time for schedule business meeting. I agree with other posted comments.

As well as looking weird, it adds a lot of clutter and takes up unnecessary screen space, especially a problem in Month view.

Unbelievable that this is still not resolved. The 'by design' excuse does not make any sense. So much tweaking over the years but basic functionality is broken. Outlook product managers don't get to travel much?

Absolutely. This really does need to be tied to the date, regardless of time zone, which is how most all day events, like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. are. The problem is that I'll put in a birthday or anniversary when on a business trip and another when I'm back home, and yet another while vacationing in Europe, and they all start spanning multiple days when I get into different time zones. It defeats the purpose entirely and makes the calendar feature almost useless for anyone like me who travels for a living.

All Day Event should be relevant to the Date and not to a 24 hour period. A 24 hour event is a disaster when dealing with people in different time zones, especially in shared calendars. All Day Event should Never have a time zone attached to them!

Oh PLEASE make "All Day" appointments "pin" to one day. No one is blocking a specific 24 hour period of time specific to their time zone (and if they are, they should use the times instead of the "all day" choice). The world is big and we work with people all over the country/world in different time zones. The 24 hour all day appointment needs to go!

Please change the All Day Event to be related to a DATE and not a time period. This totally messes up our calendar when we have teammates in multiple time zones.
